Make sure you include observations, creating a testable hypothesis, identifying variables, data, having an adequate sample, & replicating your findings. Purpose/Question, Observation, Hypothesis, Experiment (independent, dependent and controls), Data and Analysis, Communicating Findings, Replicating/Repeating the experiment.Why do many experiments make use of a control group? Used as a basis of comparison, normalWhat are the characteristics of a good experiment? Large sample size, one variable tested at a time. What is the difference between an inference and a prediction? An inference is a logical interpretation based upon prior knowledge or experiences. A prediction is based upon direct observations. What are the differences between hypothesis, theory and law?Hypothesis – suggested outcome to a scientific question. Theory – a well supported hypothesis that unifies a broad range of indirect observations. Law – A documented hypothesis supported by direct evidence.What is the difference between an independent and dependent variable? The independent variable (manipulated variable) is what the scientist changes in an experiment. The dependent variable (responding variable) changes as a result of the independent variable. Interpret graphs. Which axis has the independent variable? Which axis has the dependent variable? When do you use a bar graph? A line graph? A pie graph? (X,Y) Bar graphs are used for comparisons, line graphs show change over time and pie graphs show a representation of something to the whole. Tools of a Biologist: Things to know about Microscopes How do you determine the magnification of the field of view for a microscope? You multiply the eyepiece by the objective lens. What happens to the diameter of the field of view when you change from low to high power? It gets much smaller. How do you estimate the size of a cell or cell structure when using a microscope?Micrometers (1.3 mm (millimeters) would be 1300 micrometers)What do you adjust first on a microscope?

SPINACH MAY CUT STOMACH ULCER RISK - 5/15/2008Vegetables rich in nitrates, such as spinach, may help to protect against stomach ulcers thanks to bacteria in the mouth, a Swedish study suggests. The work challenges earlier suggestions that a diet rich in nitrates could pose a health risk.Joel Petersson was awarded his PhD by the?University of?Uppsala on May 9 for the study, which shows that rats fed on a nitrate-rich diet had a thicker layer of mucus lining their stomachs, protecting them from hydrochloric acid in gastric juice and cutting the risk of ulcers.Petersson found that mouth bacteria play a vital part in the process. Nitrates in food are absorbed in the gut and enter the blood stream. From here they get into saliva but are reduced to nitrites by oral bacteria. After being swallowed, the nitrites are reduced to nitric oxide by stomach acid. Nitric oxide, an important signaling molecule, triggers an increase in the flow of blood to the stomach, helping to renew and thicken its mucus lining.When Petersson gave rats an antibacterial mouthwash to kill the oral bacteria, he found they were more vulnerable to stomach ulcers.?He suggests that people using these mouthwashes regularly may be at risk, especially if they are also frequent users of nonsteroidal pain killers like aspirin which can also damage the stomach lining. 'There are other much safer ways of blocking the production of the sulphur-containing compounds in the mouth if you have bad breath,' he said.Between 60 and 80 per cent of the nitrates consumed in a normal Western diet come from vegetables, with beetroot, celery and spinach containing particularly high-levels of 1-3g per kilo.Studies in the 1970s suggested a link between high nitrate levels in drinking water and both stomach cancer and the rare blood condition in babies,? methaemoglobinaemia. 'We have since wasted millions in trying to reduce nitrate levels in drinking water when there is no real evidence to show that it is harmful to humans. If you do eat a lot of nitrate it is very easily dealt with - you just pee it out,' Petersson said."The Swedish study has shown this further effect in animals and I would certainly expect the same mechanism to exist in the human stomach "- Nigel Benjamin Nigel 'Ben' Benjamin, now a consultant in acute medicine at the?Peninsula?Medical?School in?Plymouth,?UK, discovered a different protective mechanism for nitrates in the 1990s. He showed that the combination of nitric oxide and acid controlled the growth of dangerous bacteria like salmonella in the gut. 'The Swedish study has shown this further effect in animals and I would certainly expect the same mechanism to exist in the human stomach,' said Benjamin. 'This is exciting work and gives us further reasons for eating a diet that contains lots of fresh vegetables.'John BonnerQUESTIONS:28. The experiment above was done on rats. Is there any reason to think that it might apply to humans? Rats are often used in human studies because they are similar in DNA and metabolism. 29. What else would you like to know about this topic before you start eating spinach every day? What other ways I could protect myself from stomach ulcers, also how they carried out their research. Such as are they sponsored by the Spinach counsel? Are there any negative impacts of eating spinach everyday? (Popeye Syndrome?)30. There is conflicting data from the 1970’s. How do you decide what is the most scientifically accurate?I would likely use the most current evidence since recording tools are better with the use of advanced technology.Famous Scientists you Should Know.

What kind of weak bonds hold the two strands of DNA together? Hydrogen Bonds10. Why is it important that these bonds be weak? They need to be weak in order for DNA to make a copy (replication) of itself when a cell divides (mitosis).11. Describe the process of DNA replication. What enzyme breaks apart the hydrogen bonds between bases? DNA Helicase breaks the (hydrogen bonds) strands apart and polymerase adds bases to the growing strand.How many pieces of DNA are made? 2 What does semi-conservative mean? Half old strand; half new strand.12. Describe the process of protein synthesis: What is transcription? The process by which DNA makes a copy of a particular gene to be transcribed into mRNA and sent out to the cytoplasm to be read by the ribosomes.13. What is translation? The process by which mRNA is read by a ribosome which matches mRNA codons to corresponding anticodons on tRNA (and their amino acids) to create a amino acid chain that will become a future protein.14. What happens to DNA when a mutation occurs? A particular base on a codon will not be correct, such as ACG will be ACT.15. How does this affect the mRNA? When the mRNA is transcribed it will carry that mutation, Such as ACT will be UGA instead of UGC.16. How can this affect translation? Depending that the mutation does not cause the wrong amino acid to be paired, it may cause no problem at all. If it does cause the wrong amino acid pair then the protein can suffer from partial function to no function at all.17. How does this affect the structure and shape of the resulting protein? The wrong amino acid sequence affects the shape and structure and hence the function of the protein. 4600575-23241100Cell Cycle Look at the diagram of the cell cycle. 18.

When lactose is present what happens to the repressor? It binds to lactose and not to the DNA so that the enzyme can be transcribed and translated (expressed.)26. When the repressor does not attach to the repressor region of the gene, what happens to gene expression?Gene expression (translation and transcription) will continue until it is stopped by the repressor.27. If all the cells in an organism (cells with nuclei) have the same DNA, explain, in terms of genes, how a nerve cell functions differently from a muscle cell. Some places on the DNA have constant suppressors, so those genes are never expressed. 28. Why do pancreas cells produce insulin in great amounts but blood cells does not? Only the genes for insulin are turned on (not suppressed) in pancreas cells where they are in blood cells. See question 27. 29. What is cancer? What are some causes of cancer? Cancer is caused by uncontrolled cell reproduction (mitosis) in which those cells reroute blood flow and create tumors which can spread and kill the organism. Cancer is caused by carcinogens that promote this type of behavior (smoking, bad diet, inactivity, radioactivity, etc) 3.02 Compare and contrast the characteristics of asexual and sexual reproduction. 30-31.

Genotype: 100% RWPhenotype: 100% Pink FlowersWhat type of inheritance is this? Incomplete dominance49. Explain the inheritance of the following disorders: (Autosomal dominant? Autosomal recessive? Sex-linked dominant? Sex-linked recessive?)Sickle cell anemia: Autosomal codominant Cystic fibrosis: Autosomal Recessive Huntington’s: Autosomal dominantBlood type 50. If a woman with type A blood has a child with a man with type B blood and their first child has type O blood, give the genotypes of the woman and the man and do the cross. (Alleles are IA, IB, and i)000051. What are the odds that they will have a child with type O blood again? ? or 25%52. What are the odds that they will have a child with homozygous type A blood? 0%53. What are the odds that they will have a child with type AB blood? ? or 25%54. A blood test is done to see if one of three men is the father of a child. The child has type O blood, the mother has type A blood. Man #1 has type AB blood, Man #2 has type A blood, Man #3 has type O blood. Are there any men that can be ruled out as the father? Man #1, because he can donate either an A or B allele, neither giving O type blood.55. What does it mean to have multiple alleles? There are more than 2 types of alleles for a particular genotype.Polygenic traits 56. What does polygenic traits mean? Many genes (genotypes) control one particular phenotypic trait.57. Using 3 genes (A,a and B,b and C,c) explain hair color in terms of these genes. How many phenotypes are possible?Hair color can vary from ABC to abc, where most individuals will be towards the average. So you will see a bell curve of possibilities, distributed over 64.Sex Chromosomes 58. What are the sex chromosomes in males? XY In Females? XX59. Colorblindness & hemophilia are sex-linked traits. What chromosome location (#) are these genes found? #2360. Cross a female who is a carrier for hemophilia with a normal male.XCXc x XCY7620010287000 61. What are the odds that they will have a child with hemophilia? ? or 25% (male only) 62. What are the odds that they will have a daughter with hemophilia? 0% or none 63. What are the odds that they will have a daughter who is a carrier for hemophilia? ? or 50%64. Why are males more likely to show this type of disorder? (Who (mother/father) is likely to give them the bad gene?) It is their mother who donates X’s which carry the disease. The father donates Y’s to sons which do not carry disease.-5715011112500Karyotype 65. What is the gender of the person whose karyotype is shown to the left? Female, because of the 2 X’s.66. What is the disorder that this person has? Trisomy 21 or Down Syndrome.67. What is your evidence?There are 3 chromosomes at location #21.68. What are some of the characteristics of this type of disorder? Mental retardation, facial abnormalities.Pedigrees 69. What is the inheritance pattern shown by this pedigree? Autosomal recessive.3876675558800070. How do you know?Males and females equally affected (autosomal) and it skips generations (recessive)71. Using A,a, what is the genotype of person II4? aa6048375-50800072. What is the genotype of person I3? AaTest Cross73. Describe the test cross that a farmer would use to determine the genotype of an animal that shows a dominant trait. Use the following Punnett squares and the letters A and a to explain your answer.463867590805001524009080500In a test cross, we already know the genotype of the recessive parent (aa) based upon the recessive phenotype. If there are any recessive phenotype offspring, then the unknown parent must be heterozygous!Mendel’s Laws 74. Explain each of Mendel’s Laws and explain the experiments he used to determine these laws.1) Law of segregation of characters (alleles) In most sexually reproducing organisms each adult has two copies of each gene, one from each parent. These genes are segregated from each other when gametes are formed.2) Law of independent assortment (of alleles) Genes that segregate independently from each other and do not influence each other’s inheritance. So heterozygous organisms have a pattern of 1: 2: 1 or 9: 3: 3: 1.75. How does meiosis lead to segregation and independent assortment? Meiosis allows whole chromosomes to segregate independently of each other, lending authenticity to Mendel’s laws.76. Double check your learning, solve the following genetics problem:A brown mink crossed with a silverblue mink produced all brown offspring. When these F1 mink were crossed among themselves they produced 47 brown animals and 15 silverblue animals (F2 generation). Determine all the genotypes and phenotypes, and their relative ratios, in the F1 and F2 generations.F1F2Genotypes:100% Bb Genotypes: ? BB, ? Bb, ? bbPhenotypes:100% Brown MinkPhenotypes: ? Brown Mink, ? Silverblue mink3.04 Assess the impacts of genomics on individuals and society (Human genome project & biotechnology)77. What were the goals of the human genome project? Begun in 1990, it was a collaborate effort among scientists to sequence the human genome. 78. How will the human genome project be useful in finding whether individuals may carry genes for genetic conditions?0698500This could help identify genetic disorders in couples or devise methods of gene therapy.79. How will the human genome project be useful in developing gene therapies? (Page 359) In gene therapy, the absent or faulty gene is replaced by a normal, working gene. To the left is an electrophoresis gel, showing evidence from a rape case. (Pages 356 & 357) 80. Could the defendant be the rapist? (Y/N) NO The Bands do not match to the defendant. 81. Which fragments of DNA are the longest? Explain.The longest bands are the largest base pairs digested by the restriction enzymes. They are bigger so they move more slowly across the gel. Hence, they are found towards the bottom of the gel. 82. What other ways can DNA fingerprinting be useful?DNA fingerprinting can be used to determine disease, other crimes, or in paternity cases. 83. What is a restriction enzyme? This is an enzyme used in DNA fingerprinting that cuts DNA at certain places along the DNA strand. These fragments can be measured as a function of their slow or fast movement across an electrophoretic gel. 84. Since DNA has a (-) charge, which way will it go in a gel? Towards the positive end. Which type of fragments move the fastest? Smallest Which move the slowest? Biggest85. How can amniocentesis be used to screen for genetic disorders? This is a process in which a needle is used to extract the amniotic fluid surrounding a developing fetus in the mother’s womb. It can be tested using a karyotype for a chromosomal disorder. Transgenic organisms & Transformation 0209550086. Describe the process that is shown in the diagram to the left. A bacterium has had a human gene for insulin inserted into its genome. The bacterium will use its normal processes of transcription and translation to produce the human protein of insulin.87. What is the value of this technology?Scientists can harvest the insulin protein from the bacteria to use in human patients who need human insulin like diabetes patients.88. What are some other applications of this type of technology?Bacteria will make any type of protein inserted into their genome, so scientists can make any type of protein that is needed. (Hemoglobin, etc)89. This process can be used to make GMO’s –genetically modified organisms. What are some of the ethical issues surrounding this technology?We do not know the long term affects of using this type of technology. Long term studies are not yet available. 42957757683500Stem Cells90. The diagram to the right shows how stem cells can develop into many types of different cells. What are some of the potential benefits that could come from the growing of stem cells in a laboratory?Scientists can grow into any new cell type that has been damaged or mutated in certain individuals. People may regain brain or neural function in cells that no longer reproduce at maturity which would help in spinal cord injuries or Alzheimer’s patients.91. What are some of the ethical issues surrounding the collection and use of stem cells? Some stems cells are harvested from discarded or aborted embryos. But now, some stem cells can be taken from teeth or other sources.3.05 Examine the development of the theory of evolution by natural selection including: development of the theory, the origin and history of life, fossil and biochemical evidence, mechanisms of evolution, and applications (pesticide and antibiotic resistance).92. In the following chart, describe the role of each of the following in developing the current theory of evolution.Discussion of importance to evolutionary theoryUnderstanding of geology(Changes in the earth)That the early has been constantly changing, why not living things?Malthus’ ideas about populationGrowthHumans (perhaps like other organisms) are limited by environmental pressures (disease, resources, space, etc)Anatomical comparisonsAnimals that share common characteristics in bone structure may have had some form of common ancestry.Patterns in fossil evidenceAncient organisms adapted and responded to their environment by inheritable characteristics depending on the type of environment.Lamarck’s ideas about inheritanceOf acquired characteristicsHe believed that animals inherited characteristics based upon their use and disuse of traits which is not true, but raised the issue of how they were they passed on?Biochemical comparisons (DNA and proteins)By directly comparing DNA and proteins, scientists can determine when animals diverged from one another as well as compare their evolutionary relationships.The role of variationsAnimals seemed to adapt to their particular environments. Why?The role of sexual reproductionAnimals that sexually reproduced had more success (fitness) in a changing environment. Why was this?The role of geographic isolationWhen animals are separated geographically, major adaptations occurred. Why?The importance of the environmentA constant theme in whether or not animals survived or went extinct was their natural environment. How did this shape how animals survived then and today?93. What is a vestigial structure? Name a few in humans. A structure that is no longer useful to an organism, but may have been used by ancestors. Vestigial structures in humans include the coccyx (tail bone), ear muscles, appendix, and goose bumps from getting scared.94. What are some of the ideas on the origins of life? (A.k.a. where and when did it form?) Life likely formed in the Earth’s oceans where it was constant and safe from the toxic, oxygen deprived atmosphere and harsh land conditions. As cyanobacteria produced oxygen and the climate changed that the oceans dried up (not totally!), animals and plants began to move the land environment and develop complexity from simple carbon molecules to amino acids, protocells and cells.95. Discuss the steps in Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. 1) Populations of organisms have many genetic variations. Where do these come from? Inherited genes seen fit by those best suited to the environment who could find food and a mate to pass those on to their offspring.2) Organisms could reproduce exponentially but they don’t. Why not? What are they restricted by? No, they are restricted by food availability, space and mate selections. The best suited to the environment will survive & reproduce.3) What are adaptations? Any inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s chance of survival.4) Some adaptations have better survival value in certain environments. What does this mean? Some adaptations (based upon genotypic mutations) are not favorable for that particular environment. They are not selected for and that particular organism dies and does not pass on that particular adaptation to their offspring.5) What does it mean to be “fit” to an environment? The ability of an individual to survive and reproduce in their particular environment.6) The next population will have a high frequency of the genes that have been selected for. Why will the frequency of selected genes increase? Those who are fit will be the only ones to survive and reproduce passing on those genes. 7) What is Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection? What is Artificial Selection? In natural selection, only the fittest will survive to produce offspring for the next generation (survival of the fittest.) In artificial selection, humans select organisms for desired traits and ensure breeding (plus survival) so those traits is present in their offspring. Such as particular dog breeds that could never survive in the natural environment.8) When this process continues over millions of years, it can lead to speciation. What is speciation? When members of a species evolve they split and become reproductively isolated from one another. This creates two new species. 96. Compare and contrast convergent and divergent evolution. Convergent evolution is when two generally unrelated species in different areas adopt similar adaptations based upon a common environment. Divergent evolution is when animals diverge from each other then they geographically adopt different areas and must take on different characteristics as adaptations in order to survive, becoming more different than one another.97. Sketch or describe the following: Stabilizing Selection, Directional Selection and Disruptive Selection. Stabilizing Selection – When individuals at the phenotypic extremes are selected against and those in the middle are selected for. Creates a species more uniform, towards the average. (Bell Shaped Curve)Directional Selection – When individuals at one phenotypic extreme are selected for and those in the middle or other extreme are selected against. Creates one type of species slanted in that direction. (Directional Curve)Disruptive Selection – When individuals at each phenotypic extreme are selected for and those in the middle are selected against. Creates two new species (speciation) to form. (Disruptive Shaped Curve)98. What is adaptive radiation? How did the finches of the Galapagos adapt to their environment?Adaptive radiation is a type of divergent evolution where groups based upon new environments adapt differently creating new species. Darwin’s finches adapted according to their food source and was reflected in their type of beak.99. Describe how a population of bacteria can become resistant to an antibiotic (or an insect to a pesticide) using the steps listed above. How is this a direct way to observe evolution? Bacteria that have natural mutations to survive a particular insect or pesticide have new space and resources to survive and reproduce creating a new generation resistant to that particular obstacle. 100. What happens when pesticides and antibiotics are used and how does it relate to evolution? When one particular antibiotic is used frequently, populations evolve (see question 99) a natural immunity to it. This is the exact theory of Darwin’s survival of the fittest. 101. What are the differences between abiogenesis (spontaneous generation) and biogenesis? In abiogenesis life can arise from nothing, even air. In biogenesis, life must arise from other living life.102. What did Louis Pasteur contribute to our understanding of the origins of life? Louis Pasteur described through his curved flask experiment that life cannot come simply from air but through other living things, such as molecules that we cannot see (microorganisms).103. Why did Miller and Urey put those particular gases into their experiment? They were found in the early Earth’s atmosphere where life would have likely started. 104. What type of organic molecules did they find? Amino acids105. What is the significance of their experiments? Amino acids are the monomers or building blocks of proteins that make up organisms or life.106. Most hypotheses state that prokaryotic anaerobes probably evolved first. Why?Because there was no oxygen in the early Earth’s atmosphere.107. The hypotheses then suggest that prokaryotic autotrophs probably evolved? Why? They were the ones (i.e. cyanobacteria) that produced the oxygen that is found in our atmosphere today.108. What gas would enter the atmosphere as a result of these autotrophs appearing. OXYGEN!109. Then prokaryotic aerobic heterotrophs could evolve. What can these cells do that others before them cannot? Synthesize organic materials into energy. Before then there was only the SUN to use energy. 110. What is the hypothesis explaining how eukaryotic cells evolved?

How do organisms, species, populations, communities, ecosystems and biomes relate to each other? All are levels of living things; biomes are the most general (parts of the biosphere) and organisms are the most specific. Ecosystem includes both biotic and abiotic factors while community just includes the living organisms that interact. Populations are individuals of the same species found in the same area while organisms are individuals2. What is an organism’s habitat? What is its niche? Habitat is an organism’s address: where it lives while the niche is its job: how the organism makes a living and is adapted to its environment3. in the following chart, explain the symbiotic relationships. RelationshipDefinition Example Mutualism++; two individuals help each otherAlgae and fungus in lichenFlower and bee in pollinationCommensalism+0; one individual benefits and the other neither gains nor losesSpanish moss epiphyte on live oak treeParasitism+-; one benefits (parasite) and the other is hurt (host)Tick sucking blood from humanPredator-Prey Relationships 4. In the graph below, which organism is the prey? __Hare___ Which is the predator? __Fox___5. Which population increases (or falls) first and why? Hare; few predators to control population6. Which population increases (or falls) second and why? Foxes; takes a while for there to be enough food for foxes to have lots of babiesWhy are predator/prey relationships important in an ecosystem? (Consider population dynamics in your answer.) The predators help regulate the prey population so the prey does not eat up or destroy all of the vegetation. Also some prey may be parasites on other organisms so the predators keep them from becoming too much of a problem.044386500Sampling techniques Assume that the diagram to the left shows populations of pine trees in an area. The area is too large for a scientist to count every tree.8. How can the scientist use sampling to get a good estimate of the number of pine trees per 10,000 square meters? Count the population in the individual squares and multiply the total area sampled by the total area to sampled area ratio.9. Assume that each small plot (square) is 10 m x 10 m. Estimate the population size of the whole area. 11 trees in 12 plots: average 11 trees/12 plots = 1 tree/plot (=0.91666 no calculator on EOC!)1 tree to 100 m squared is x to 10,000 m squared = 100 trees (91.666666 or 92 trees)10. How could the same process (above) be used to estimate species diversity? Record the number of individuals of each species in each sample plot11. How could the same process be used to discover changes in the environment over time? Record the number of individuals of each species in each sample plot every year, five years, or other period of time12. What is carrying capacity? The number of individuals of a population and given area or environment can sustain over a period of time. (Shown by logistic or S curve)13. What are density dependent limiting factors? What are density independent limiting factors? Dependent limiting factors are determined by the number of individuals present in the area: examples-predators would be density dependent as would disease. Independent limiting factors are not determined by the number of individuals present in an area example: temperature or pHBiotic and Abiotic Factors 14. List at least 3 biotic factors in an environment.Number of shade trees, disease organisms, predators, density of prey organisms, number of pollinators15. List at least 3 abiotic factors in an environment.pH, temperature, salinity, light, rainfall, soil type16. Give an example of how biotic & abiotic factors act together to limit population growth and affect carrying capacity.Annual rainfall can determine the biomass potential of the producers in a region, thus limiting the rate of reproductionGraph 1: Rabbits Over Time17. What kind of growth curve is shown by the graph to the right?Logistic ; “S” curve18. What is the carrying capacity for rabbits? 6619. During what month were rabbits in exponential growth? May1152525190627000115252512509500Graph 2: Mexico and US20. In Mexico, what percentage of the population is between 0-4 years of age? 16%21. In the US? 7%22. Which population is growing the fastest? Mexico23. Which age group has the smallest number in both countries? Mexico 80+; US 75-80Chart 3: Trapping GeeseYearGeese TrappedNumber with Mark276225-4762500 1980101(10x10)/1=1001981151(15x10)/1=1501982121(12x10)/1=120198380n/a198452(5x10)/2=251985101(10x10)/1=100In order to estimate the population of geese in Northern Wisconsin, ecologists marked 10 geese and then released them back into the population. Over a 6 year period, geese were trapped and their numbers recorded. 24. Use the formula to calculate the estimated number of geese in the area studied? This technique is called ____mark___ & _recapture_______25. Supposing more of the geese found in the trap had the mark, would the estimated number of geese in the area be greater or lesser? Lesser5.02 Analyze the flow of energy and the cycling of matter in the ecosystem (relationship of the carbon cycle to photosynthesis and respiration and trophic levels – direction and efficiency of energy transfer).Carbon cycle Diagram 368303041650026. Which process(es) put carbon dioxide into the atmosphere? _Respiration; 27. Which process(es) take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere? __Photosynthesis_______________________________________28. How does photosynthesis and cell respiration relate to Carbon cycle? Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the air and respiration adds it to the air. The products of one are the reactants of the other. 29. Explain the Greenhouse Effect in relationship to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.Increase of carbon dioxide prevents infrared light (heat) from leaving the atmosphere. This raises the earth’s temperature just like glass in a greenhouse traps heat and keeps the greenhouse warm. 30. What effect might increased atmospheric carbon dioxide have on the environment?Increased trapping of heat and thus higher temperatures. Some plant species may grow faster with more carbon dioxide. 31. How do bacteria play a role in the Carbon Cycle?Bacteria can do all parts of the carbon cycle: photosynthesis, respiration and decomposition. Primary and Secondary Succession 32. What is Primary Succession? Process where the species present changeStarting with a new community with no soil: bare rock, lava or small pond and going to climax33. What is Secondary Succession? Process where the species present changeStarting with some soil (and underground seeds, organisms and bacteria) and going to climax34. What is a Climax Community? The stable community at the end of succession typical of its biome. Beech-Maple forest or tropical savanna35. What is a pioneer species? How are they important? Species which show up during early succession. They tend to travel easily (wind) and grow quickly. They protect the soil and provide shade so climax species can gain a foothold. 306705013970000Food Webs 36. What are the producers in this food web?Blossoms, nuts, bark, leaves37. What are the primary consumers (herbivores) in this food web? Bees, mice, deer, rabbit, insects38. What are the secondary consumers in this food web? Bear, wolf, fox, toad, skunk, birds39. What are the highest level consumers in this food web? Bear40. How does energy move through a food web?10% moves through each tropic level41. How does matter move through a food web?Same as 4042. What is a food chain? Give an example of one from this food web. A series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten43. Create an energy pyramid from the food chain: -4762545529500Leavesinsectsbirdsred foxbear44. Where is the most energy in this pyramid? Bottom: plants, producers45. Where is the least energy in this pyramid?Top: bear, 4th level consumer46. What happens to energy as it moves through the food chain/web?Most is “lost” as waste heat about 10% at each level is converted into biomass or available energy (food!)47. Assume there are 10,000 kcal of energy in the leaves? Estimate the amount of energy in each of the other levels of the energy pyramid.10, 000; 1000; 100; 10; 1; 0.1 kcal48. What percent of energy is lost? ___90_____% Remember these numbers vary!49. How much is passed on? __10___%50. What is the ultimate source of energy for this food web? The nuclear fusion in the sun!51. What are the other two types of pyramids? Explain.Numbers (show number of individuals at each level) and biomass (total dry weight of all individuals at each level.)52. What is a biome? What are the two limiting factors in a biome? Biome is a large area with similar type of vegetation and similar climate. The two main limiting factors are temperature (especially does it freeze) and precipitation. 5.03 Assess human population and its impact on local ecosystems and global environments (historic and potential changes in population, factors associated with those changes, climate change, resource use, and sustainable practices/stewardship).53. What are the effects of bioaccumulation (biomagnifications) of pesticides on a food web? At bottom of food web poison is at low concentration and may cause no damage but as it builds up in the higher level organisms it may make top level consumers sick; sterile or even dead. 54. Why do some species become resistant to pesticides?A random mutation occurs or a virus transfers a gene to a different species. Individuals with this mutation are not killed and pass on the resistant gene to their offspring.55. What are some pros and the cons of biocontrols as alternatives to pesticides?Less harmful to the environment; only kill the targeted pest; since are living species once introduced they reproduce themselvesCon: takes time to discover the biocontrol; some take longer to take effect56. Explain the effect each of the following may have on the environment.FactorEffect on EnvironmentPopulation SizeContributes to the consumption of resources and destruction of ecosystemPopulation DensityEffects intraspecies competition, overconsumption, etc.Resource UseLimits population sizeAcid RainDestroys producers, changes pH in waters and soils, harms biotic factors of the ecosystemHabitat DestructionDestroys natural resources, increases rate of erosion, decreases biodiversity.Introduced non-native speciesReproduces rapidly, due to having no predators evolved in new location. Can Pesticide useKills off primary consumers in the food chain; poisons ground water.DeforestationCuts down trees….. nuff said57. What is the role of carbon emissions and other emissions as causes of global warming?Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that can increase global warming. Methane produced by bacteria in livestock and from land fills is another greenhouse gas.58. What are some possible effects of global warming?Spread of tropical diseases to temperate zones; extinction of species; more variation in weather; erosion of beaches; rise of sea level; decrease crop yield; melting of permafrost; open arctic ocean; longer growing periods59. What are some ways that carbon production can be decreased?Plant more trees/ reduce deforestation. Use less fossil fuels. See number 61.60. What effect do volcanoes have on the atmosphere?Release of ash, particulates and sulfur dioxide can reduce the light the hits the earth surface and make the earth colder. Release of large amounts of methane and carbon dioxide can trap heat and warm the atmosphere. Also make great colorful sunsets!61. What are some examples of sustainable practices and stewardship that can protect the environment?Reduce, recycle, reuse! Use renewable energy resources. Create green buffers near streams. Conserve energy. Use public transportation. Use chemicals and materials that don’t create dangerous wastes.What is an invasive or non-native species? (Page 153) How can they cause negative effects on an ecosystem? (Cane Toads!) Non-native is a species from some other geographic location. Invasive is a species that lacks natural biotic or abiotic factors that can control the population.Problems: cause native species to go extinct; damage crops; carry disease; damage landscaping or propertyCompare and contrast: Linear Growth, Logistic Growth, and Exponential Growth. Linear: y=mx + b growth occurs at a steady rateLogistic: “S” curve- starts off as exponential and then levels to zero growth (hopefully at the carrying capacity)What type of growth is related to human population? Exponential 64. How did the rise of human agriculture create a significant impact on the Earth? What kind of technology was used to feed the growing human population?Agriculture allowed the human population to increase. Many natural ecosystems were destroyed and species became extinct to create farm land. Pesticides entered the food chain and fertilizers and soil erosion damaged aquatic systems. The Green Revolution: new varieties of crops with better yield but need more pesticides, irrigation and fertilizer. More recently genetically engineered crops that are resistant to disease or pesticides or have higher yield. 65. What is the effect of resources (which are limited) on unlimited human population growth?Population may grow faster than food supplies or resources for fuel and industry. When resources become more scarce more people may starve, have more diseases or go to war over resources. 401955020275550066. What is the demographic transition model? Human societies go from high birth rate and high death rate to then low death rate but high birth rate and finally to low birth and low death rate to reach ZPG: zero population growth (stable population)67. The graph to the left shows the growth of the human population From 1 A.D. to 2000 A.D. Describe what you see has happened.It shows a rapid increase due to exponential growth. In the last hundred years population has doubled several times. 68. What factors influence human birth and death rates? Medical care, access to food, age of pregnancy, access to education and birth control, disease organisms, pollution, war, and many others69. Who was Thomas Malthus? What did he say were the controls on human population growth?He was an economist and a philosopher. He stated that since population increased geometrically (exponentially) while food only increased arithmetically (linearly) people would starve unless they some how limited the number of children they would have.70. Predict what will happen to population growth in the future and explain your reasoning.3 possibilities: It will continue to increase. It will stabilize. It will decline. Give any logical reasons why. ................
